Daddy's 40th birthday

Dear Matthew, Toby and Josie

Your dad turned 40 last week! Can't believe he's such an old man 😜We celebrated with some cake and take-away at our place on the official day, and then headed down to Mandurah with all the extended family for the weekend and stayed at the same resort we'd been to last summer. You all enjoyed the pool, crabbing and hanging with your cousins. For dinner on the Saturday we went across the road to the Brewery and had a yummy dinner together and you all played on the boat playground at the front. Afterwards we went back to the resort, sang happy birthday, had cake and just chilled together. It was a lovely relaxing weekend away, enjoying family time together and celebrating your dad's big 4-0. 

As we were leaving on Sunday morning we also went and visiting one of the Mandurah 'giants' by the ocean. This was part of an exhibit where the City of Melville 'hid' giants around town and you had to find them using clues. Luckily Ma Ma and Gumps had inside knowledge and we didn't have to galivant around town and headed straight to the awesome guy below. 

Love you all,

First day of Year 4 and Pre-Primary

Dear Matthew, Toby and Josie

The summer holidays have come to an end and with that you're back to school boys! Matt you are going into Year 4, and you have the same teacher that you had last year which we are stoked about as you clicked so well with him and had your best year of school yet. Tobes you are going into full time school for the first time, starting Pre-Primary! 

Your dad took you both to school to see your classrooms/drop off your school books (and meet your new teacher Tobes) the day before school started so you were both comfortable. Tobes you even gave your new teacher a hug on the way out so I knew you'd be fine! On your first day we all went as a family and you were both super excited to be there. Tobes you have a lot of the same friends from last year and Matt you have a couple of close friends in your class too. 

After a week or so the school held their parent info night and it was great to see that they've come a long way over the last year and will be improving their communication. There are also heaps of opportunities available to you both. Matt you will be able to continue with your basketball and choir at school, which you really enjoy. For homework yours seems even less than last year Matt, with just spelling words, times tables and Lexile readers. Tobes you just need to do some reading comprehension and make a start on Reading Eggs, which you already enjoy doing. 

Looking forward to a great year for you both!

Love you all,
